Chairman Kim Joo-hyun of the Financial Services Commission attended the first policy seminar on the Corporate Value-up Program held on February 26 and delivered congratulatory remarks. In his speech, Chairman Kim outlined the government’s reform initiatives to bring about fundamental changes in our capital markets, which include (a) establishing a fair and transparent market order, (b) improving accessibility to capital markets, and (c) strengthening protection for general shareholders. To build up a positive feedback loop in our capital markets where listed companies are able to get proper valuation for sound growth and investors are able to share the profit of that growth and reinvest in the Korean capital market, the government needs to support companies’ voluntary efforts to raise their value, the Chairman said.
